Serving our Schools and Religious Education Programs

The Holy Childhood Association Program in the Mission Office exists to be of service to schools and religious education programs.

Authorized by the Vatican, and in collaboration with the U.S. Bishops, HCA distributes educational and fund-raising programs to school and religious education programs throughout the United States. It is sometimes known as the Pontifical Association of the Holy Childhood because it is sponsored in a special way by the Pope.

It is the official agency of the Holy Father for the distribution of the fund raising proceeds realized through the efforts of children for their underprivileged brothers and sisters in Third World situations.
